David Blaine performers some magic at the premier party for the new season of "Icoloclasts" in NYC last night. He also spoke with the Wall Street Journal:
“I think on one side of it, it’s pretty simple,” Blaine said. “It’s a digital fixation, like the love of continuously moving my hands to manipulate things. The other part of it is an intense love of science, logic and math, so the combination of those things create the magician.”
His great teacher was “my mother definitely. She was a school teacher and loved interacting with people. I read many magic books growing up but the one I used as a guide was Houdini. I liked his showmanship and ability to affect people.”
Blaine will be featured on the show on November 6th.
